Personal Opinion : This wine is one of the better selections from Aldi. It doesn't always happen that you find something really exciting in the wine-section at this store, but this is simply fantastic. They also have the same wine in Reserva, which can be bought for about 1 pound more. Keep up the good work.


Personal Score : 8.5/10
